¡Celebremos juntos! Join us as we celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month with hands-on activities from Museum Educators, docents and volunteers, and presentations by community artists and performers. All offerings are included with daily admission.
On these self-led tours, you'll get the chance to explore our exhibits while also getting behind-the-scenes access to interesting collections items, fascinating videos, and links to the exciting research happening at the Milwaukee Public Museum.
Your estate or planned gift to the Milwaukee Public Museum helps to protect and preserve collections, underwrites educational programs and scientific research, and assists in bringing special exhibitions to the Museum. Half a million visitors – including more than 140,000 students and children – benefit from MPM’s programs, events, and exhibits each year.

What does the Ask Me! Desk volunteer do?
Located at a desk positioned at the top of the grand staircase on the first floor, the Ask Me! Desk volunteer interacts with visitors seeking information. Questions may range from the location of the lunch room or specific exhibits, to more in-depth questions. This is a great opportunity to engage with visitors, even if it is just to say “hello,” or “can I help you with anything today.”
ALL visitors* (excluding groups) receive FREE access to the permanent exhibits of MPM on the first Thursday of every month during Kohl's Thank You Thursday.
*Children must be accompanied by an adult to receive free admission.
